Jawbreaker awarded Softpile Most Popular

Have you ever come across with the things seeming simple at first sight, but then, turning out not to be so evident and obvious.

When I installed the game Jawbreaker on my computer and tried to play it for the first time, I was disappointed a little bit by its simplicity. But having gathered 716 points and compared my result with the achievements presented in the table of highscores, I realized that this game is not so easy as it seemed to be, because, for example, the champion had about 9000 points. An impressive result in comparison with mine, isn't it?

Of course, after this, my perception of Jawbreaker changed in a way. I decided to achieve better results. But after several efforts my scores were not even higher than 650 points. I think you can understand why after such depressing results this game seemed to me more and more challenging.

Now, let's move on to the rules of this game. You shouldn't read any complicated instructions to master them. Everything is simple. With doubleclick on color pairs you get points, the bigger the group of 1 color you can click away, the more points you gather. If there aren't more possibilities to move away color pairs, you can use the arrow on the right of the table to shift balls upward. It may give you some opportunities to get extra points.

Theoretically, I understood how this game should be played. It is necessary to think strategically while moving off balls. Trying to do it in such a way to form numerous groups of color pairs. In this way, you'll have a chance to gather more points. Whereas, under the thoughtless clicking pair balls it is impossible to gather many points and show good results.

Moreover, if you manage to achieve such results, your points will be reflected in the online highscore table. At the same time, there is an opportunity to discuss this game and your success with other players, using the option "Chat with other players" above the playing table.

Also, I'd like to mention several words about the interface of Jawbreaker. I can't say that it belongs to the strong points of this game. The colours of the table are either too pale, like cream and silver, or too bright, for example, red and green. As for the forms of balls, it is possible to change them, selecting among classic form, big balls or even blocks. But however hard I tried to choose an ideal colour and form's combination, the interface didn't become more interesting and attractive.

Nevertheless, it is the process of the game itself is of the primary importance, not the interface. That's why I'd like to wish you to try your strength in Jawbreaker. I'm sure that if you make an effort, you'll be proud to see your name in the online highscore table.
